Leafhopper ID

[goosey]

This was on the hawthorne in the garden - I know it is a leafhopper and not a froghopper as it has spiny legs. Any idea of an ID please?



I have seen Eupteryx melissae and Empoasca vitis in the garden, this one is new to me.

Hi Goosey,

Patterns remind me of genus Zygina, but most of those I know are more "white-ish" with red markings and all quite small (2-3mm) - how big was this one, and was the colour indeed the greenish the image suggests, or is that due to reflections or something?

If indeed greenish Zygina rubrovittata might be worth looking at

But you know me ... no way that could ever be intended to be a proper ID - just thinking along

Thanks Arp - It was green and only about 2mm.
The markings are like Zygina rubrovittata but its the wrong colour, unless of course it changes with age?
